* DRAFT * => This is based on what we know so far. Its obviously subject to change as new information becomes available.

In 2012, AMD will field two main architectures for all their markets. These will be revised versions of Bulldozer and Bobcat. To avoid confusion, we'll call them Piledriver (2nd gen Bulldozer) and 2nd gen Bobcat.

Anything after 2013 is an unknown...
Mainly because the AMD Board fired the very person who came up with this roadmap! former CEO, Dirk Meyer, stepped down due to a disagreement in how the tablet market should be handled. As of this post, they still haven't found anyone to take up the leadership position on a full-time basis. They currently have an interim CEO. (Keeping the seat warm.) ...They're OK until around 2013.

AMD's Leslie Sobon (VP of product and platform marketing) is mentioned for saying...

Quote:

...in 2014 AMD will ship processors that require discrete graphics cards, though she claimed those ultra high-end chips will only make up two per cent of AMD's business. Sobon also said that AMD has plans to produce an Opteron chip that has a GPU on-die, although it will be completely separate to current Fusion cores.

What the heck is TRINITY DEVASTATOR DUO? Dual GPU on same die? Crossfire configuration?

As well, if you look here...

...You can see the Radeon HD 64xx series is dead. AMD is raising the bar on GPU performance on the budget end of the market.

Website DonanımHaber.com has leaked out three slides regarding AMD's path to the tablet market. You can see these in the first post of this thread. (The last three charts).

2011 => Desna
2012 => Hondo
2013 => Samara

To keep costs low as possible, the 2012 tablet platform (Brazos-T), seems to be nothing more than a more power optimised revision of what they're releasing in 2011.

Unless its a typo, it looks like the tablet version in 2012 won't be made in 28nm (unlike Krishna and Wichita)...It'll still be 40nm from TSMC.

The primary motivation is low cost, low power, and mass production to dive into the tablet market...This is to coincide with Windows 8 release.

I think this is because a HD 6400 class GPU (or better) will be integrated on all upcoming low and mid-range CPUs from 2012 onward, so no point making cards that would be equal to or lower than the integrated GPU me thinks...
